You can also try the alternative web standards solution, that does not
require an embed tag at all to work with firefox and other non-ie browsers:
<object data="movie.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
codebase="http://www.yourdomain.com";
width="620"
height="350">
<param name="movie" value="movie.swf" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<p>Alternative content if flash is not present</p>
</object>
There's an example on my home page: www.neo-archaic.net
I've been using this a lot lately, as it also creates a lot more lightweight
code.
